Sorry for the confusion. I have moved everyone to Long Provincial, so that you'll have a place held in case you want it. If Long Provincial doesn't suit you, please remove your name in case someone else wants the spot. Again, I'm sorry. --Jason

Palace Kitchen (another Tom Douglas restaurant, w/ a focus on meat). I have made a reservation for 6 at 8pm. Let's meet in the conference lobby at 6:30pm and make our way slowly over; we will find things to do in the interim. Look for Mike Giarlo, a man who may be holding a sign that says "HI I'M MIKE GIARLO" or otherwise shouting his name or looking confused.

(CAPPED AT SIX!)

Sitka and Spruce (Eclectic, super-local and super-seasonal.) We have a reservation for 6 at 8:15pm. We'll meet in the conference lobby at 6:30 pm and head over - the owners also run Bar Ferd'nand, a wine shop/bar in the same building, and we can kill time there before we eat. Look for Mark Matienzo or Hillel Arnold.

No reservations for parties at Serious Pie...So, let's meet in the lobby at 6:30. Look for a guy wearing an 'Alma' sticker (me). Others out there...come and crash the 'capped at six' crowd heading to Serious Pie.

Crashing the Seattle Ruby meetup, which meets on Capital Hill at 7:00 on Tuesdays. Eat at Poppy before. Reservations for 6:15. Leaving from the hotel lobby at 5:45. If you dig Ruby, come to this. Seattle ruby produced Nokogiri, Vlad, Rubygems.org ....

Brave Horse Tavern (another Tom Douglas, good regional beer list, yummy food. Near South Lake Union. Would require a ride on the South Lake Union Trolley (SLUT), but it's easy to get to/use from downtown.

Tempero do Brasil I was excited to see Ipanema Grill 6 blocks from the hotel, unfortunately it seems to be closed for good. So this restaurant which is a 10 minute ($15) cab ride away and which also serves Brazilian cuisine (including the ever-tasty feijoada) will have to do. Reservation at 6:45, meet in lobby at 6:15 with a plan of getting in the taxis at about 6:30. I'll be wearing a red and white Hawaiian shirt.

"Get Lamp" viewing Tuesday (9 PM)

It's not about Linux, Apache, MySQL or PHP, but if you don't have a one, you might get eaten by a grue.

If there is additional interest, there may be another viewing this week.

Morning Run Wednesday

I (Ray Schwartz) will not be running on Wednesday. Though several others have said that they will meet at 7am in the Hotel Lobby. I would recommend to walk straight down west to the water front and turn right-heading north, following the pedestrian path. It goes on or some miles, so it is a good choice.

Veg*n Dinner Wednesday

We'll pick a place with lots of veg*n options to go eat Wednesday for dinner. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians welcome.

Loving Hut Modest price. 1 mile from hotel. Will do bill splitting if we let them know up front.

Talked with Loving Hut and made a reservation for 15 for 6:30. Meet in the hotel lobby at 6.

Meat-Up Dinner Wednesday

RIP Meat-Up. Going to Amazon for hurricanes.

(if you do not find a suitable burger joint, there are also some top-notch steakhouses in Seattle. Both the Metropolitan Grill and El Gaucho are delightful if folks are OK with $50 steaks. Just FYI, not trying to hijack your meat-up, Cary!. -mjgiarlo)

Evergreen/Koha and friends dinner Wednesday

Put your name and any food limitations, we're meeting in the hotel lobby at 6pm.

Going to The Pike Brewing Company. They can't take a reservation for the dining room, but we can ofder food off the same menu in the bar area. Apparently there are tables that can be pushed together so we can all sit together. Let's do this. (Or, if you don't like this plan make another one :) I'll be offline this afternoon. --tara)

Archives MeetUp

Wednesday, February 8, 8pm - Room 1001
Working in archives or special collections? Interested in practical and theoretical issues relating to archives and code? Join us for an informal get-together (we'll also be doing some prepping for the Craft Brew Drinkup).

UNC-Duke Basketball game, Wednesday (6 PM)

Looks like this may be the best local venue for watching the game. Meet in the lobby at 5:45, or just find us there. Out the lobby door, hang a left on 6th, five blocks, on the right.

Dim Sum Lunch Thursday

For those of you staying in town after the last session on Thursday, O'Asian Kitchen has dim sum service during the weekdays. Reservation for 30. Meet up around 12:45, meeting location the lounge area that has the fireplace (so we're not blocking folks trying to check out of the hotel). Bring cash for easier bill splitting.

Monday, February 6, 2012

This all-classic film series, First Oscars, is accompanied by live music from the historic Mighty Wurlitzer organ, one of the last three remaining organs of its kind to reside in its original environment, played by critically acclaimed organist Jim Riggs.

Amazon Tech in Seattle is having an open house next Wednesday at 5:30 PM with Werner Vogels and David Friedberg of the Climate Corporation. https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-open-house-february-2012/ (map) -- anyone have ideas about how to get there? -- It sounds like taxi is the best way to get there. Do we want to meet at the lobby at 5PM? +1

Wednesday afternoon tour

Tour on Tuesday was nice, but less of a "behind the scenes" experience than I'd hoped. The tour guide talked a bit about the building, architecture and some of the design aspects that worked (and didn't). Unfortunately the Wed tour will not include the automatic materials sorting room. Again, max 20 people.
